Fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture are commonly assumed to be an inevitable result of aging. This belief however, is not accurate. The majority of these changes are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin due to cumulative sun exposure and environmental damage. Coupled with a decrease in cellular turnover with age, the result is lax, wrinkled skin with rough, uneven texture and a loss of vibrancy and glow. The good news is that proper skin care and treatments can dramatically reverse these changes and minimize or prevent additional future damage.
